Test prep action plan

The things I would do to be able to get a three on the ELA test is work on test prep in after school. I would do test prep in Saturday school. I would stay in advisory and do acuity. The hardest types of questions are main idea because i worry about the extended questions a lot. I could look back on the passage every time I feel that it is hard to answer. I also think that the unfamiliar words are hard also they seem to be harder than the main idea questions. To make it easier I could use context clues tto make it easier for me to use unfamimlair words.

"To My Parents: What I've Learned so far in ELA."

Dear MOM,

My accomplishments in these units were outstanding. Then, we did a political unit on the debate between Barack What I learned so far is that we start to activate our schema. I learned how to log in on my computer. It is i so easy to do things on the computer. First we did the reading strategies in ttheObama and John McCain. We worked on Nelson Mandela and how we had to compare him to a change maker. We created Blogs to help us with the readers response journals we do. We worked on a famous painter named Frida Khalo. We also did anther famous painter name Leonardo Di Vinci. We started a ning project. We are reading a book high level book . One thing about the technology in this school is so convenient and very easy to handle. So far my favorite unit was the political unit because it was so high level and we wanted to let the teachers in the building know that we did understand politics and we did care about who won and how it would affect us.
